Colton Parayko News

Parayko was a surprise scratch on Friday, with the team not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Matthew Kessel will draw into the lineup in his place.

Parayko has three goals, 16 assists, 105 SOG, 22 PIMs and a -21 plus/minus through 56 games played this season but will be a game-time decision Tuesday as he deals with an undisclosed injury. Parayko has been the subject of trade rumours as of late so the Blues' will hope he is back to full healthy by weeks end and the trade deadline Friday.

Paraykko has missed the Blues' previous three games but will be a game-time decision Monday as St. Louis takes on Anaheim. The 29-year-old had been struggling prior to his injury, with only three assists across his first 14 games while posting a -9 plus/minus rating.

Parayko was out for the pre-game skate but was not able to make it for line rushes minutes later. He will be out of the Blues' lineup Wednesday vs. Chicago. Tyler Tucker will make his NHL debut in his place.

Parayko will be a game-time decision Wednesday after head coach Craig Berube announced Wednesday that he may miss his first game of the season. Parayko picked up an assist in his last game against Colorado to snap a seven-game pointless drought and now has three assists across 14 total games this season.

Parayko missed two games while in COVID-19 protocol but is set to play Monday vs. Nashville. Parayko is averaging 24:10 TOI/gm and has accumulated 16 points (4G / 12A) in 36 games this season.

Parayko missed Monday's game against the Avalanche but will be a game-time decision Wednesday in Minnesota. Parayko, who has one goal and nine assists (10 points) in 24 games this season, will be one of seven defensemen if he plays.

Parayko was missing from Wednesday's practice and will not be in the lineup for Thursday's game vs. San Jose. With Parayko out, Marco Scandella will draw back into the Blues lineup.

Parayko missed Monday's practice due to illness and will be a game-time decision tonight in New York. Parayko comes into Tuesday's game red-hot, ranking third among defensemen with 12 points (6G 6A) since the start of February (14 games).

Parayko has missed the last seven games with an upper-body injury but will play Monday in Vancouver. Parayko will likely replace Robert Bortuzzo or Carl Gunnarsson and enters play with 13 points (2G / 11A) in 42 games this season.

Parayko was on the ice for Monday's practice but will not play Tuesday vs. the Sharks. With Parayko still day-to-day, Niko Mikkola will make his NHL debut.
